I LOVE these patchwork cards!Sarah made them using the Big Shot Top Note die.
Just stick all your 1 1/4" squares of designer paper on card, run through the Big Shot using the Top Note die and add "stitches" using a black marker. Very fun and easy!!

I Miss You

Well, I am back from Christchurch after being their for almost a week, as my mum had a bad fall. Sarah made this "I miss you" card for me. We've used this template before, here.
Sarah used the "Three Little Words" stamp set, which can be used for many different occasions and is a great value for money at $28.95. She has also used Fifth Avenue Floral, which is one of my favourite sets. I love the colours that she's used, very calming, from the Soft Subtles colour family.

Supplies Used:
Stamp Sets: Fifth Avenue Floral, Three Little Words
Card/Paper: Certainly Celery, Pretty in Pink, Whisper White, Tea Party DSP
Ink: Basic Gray, Certainly Celery, Pretty in Pink, Almost Amethyst
Accessories: Scallop Edge punch, Stamping Sponges, Certainly Celery 5/8" grosgrain ribbon, Dazzling Diamonds

Hope you enjoyed the weekend!

Raspberry Tart and Organic Grace

Well after a week I am finally back to update post. I feel I have been chasing my tail this week. On Saturday I had some ladies around to make cards. I had my Organic Grace set and this is what Jinny made. The inks she used were Perfect Plum, Mellow Moss and Basic Gray. She used the Mellow Moss taffeta ribbon which is gorgeous.
I love the Raspberry Tart papers and made a Double Pouch Bag. I used the flower from Three Little Words.
I have so enjoyed reading everyones news from Convention. Congratulations to you all for your awards. How exciting it would have been.

Fun Class

Last week I did a class for some ladies and we made a free standing pop-up card, and acetate box. For the card we used the Eastern Blooms and Embrace Life stamp sets. We used Old Olive, Rose Red, and Very Vanilla cardstock. For the acetate box we used Red Riding Hood DSP. We had a great time together. It's fun to get together with other people and create.

Patchwork Card.

Sarah and I now have our craft room back so there has been a bit more cardmaking happening. Sarah got this idea from Dawns' Stamping Thoughts Blog. I think it looks stunning with the new Riding Hood Red Designer Papers. The designer paper was cut using the 1 1/4 inch square punch. She drew in the stitching with a black Stampin' Write marker. Sarah used the Three Little Words for her sentiment and punched it out with the Word Window and placed it it on a piece of card punched out with the large oval.

Sweet Stems

Today Sarah and I had a play with some of the new stamp sets . I used Pink Pirouette cardstock and used a flower from Sweet Stems. I used the Friendly Words wheel with Pink Pirouette ink and wheeled on the bottom half of the card. I coloured the flower in Pink Pirouette and Certainly Celery ink with a blender pen, and added dazzling diamonds. I matted it with Certainly Celery and Pink Pirouette cardstock and attached Certainly Celery wide ribbon.
Sarah used two of the flowers in Sweet Stems, and coloured them in Old Olive and Rose Red with a blender pen, and added dazzling diamonds. Then cut it out and matted it on Rose Red. She stamped "Thinking of you" in Rose Red and punched it out with the Word Window punch. She stuck a strip of Old Olive on a piece of Chocolate Chip cardstock and then stuck the greeting and flowers on top.
Both these stamp sets are very versatile and good value. Three Little Words $28.95 and Sweet Stems $35.95. Please email me if you would like to order any of these.
